Brandy Norwood and Kathryn Hunter talk about getting physical for the Max and Sam Eggers-directed horror thriller
In The Front Room, Brandy plays Belinda, a pleasant mother-to-be who finds herself fighting for her life – and the fate of her child – against a terrifying adversary: her mother-in-law. But this isn’t your run-of-the-mill pain-in-the-butt mother-in-law. This is Solange, an unhinged, unpredictable force of nature who is utterly disarming and terrifying. Never mind that she’s 80 years old and only weighs about 90 pounds – Solange is as intimidating as any villain in the movies this year.
Recently, we had the opportunity to talk to these fine actresses who go head-to-head in The Front Room: Brandy, who you likely already know, and Kathryn Hunter, who you won’t soon forget after seeing her performance in the Eggers Brothers-directed movie (you may have seen her recently in The Tragedy of Macbeth and/or Poor Things). Watch the video below to find out what about the screenplay appealed to Brandy, what it was like for Hunter to play this diabolical character, and how the two actresses got physical with each other.

The Front Room opens on September 6th.
